Great food, fabulous drinks, live music and a few exciting new additions — A Taste of Matarangi is back, and the team behind ATOM is promising an even bigger and better festival experience when the Village Green comes alive on Saturday, April 3, 2027.
After taking a break in 2026, A Taste of Matarangi (ATOM) is returning to Matarangi Village Green, bringing together everything people love about the event — great food, drinks, live entertainment and a fantastic atmosphere for 2027.
The ATOM team has been busy behind the scenes planning the next event and is looking forward to welcoming locals and visitors back for what promises to be another memorable day.
A new ATOM website is ready for viewing – www.atasteofmatarangi.com, from here you can follow the links to our Facebook and Instagram pages.
Step Up to VIP
One of the biggest changes for 2027 is the introduction of an exciting new VIP experience.
VIP guests will have their own dedicated area featuring a stretched tent, comfortable seating, private bar and toilets, as well as some food and drinks included as part of the VIP experience.
It’s the perfect option for anyone wanting to enjoy ATOM with a little extra comfort — whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, catching up with friends or entertaining clients.
Early Bird/First Release Tickets — Just $35
The committee is conscious that there has been an unfortunate increase in ticket prices this year, largely as a result of the significant rise in the costs of staging an event of this size.
To help festival-goers get in early, Early Bird/First release tickets will be just $35.
They will be available from Labour Weekend until sold out, giving people a chance to secure their tickets before the regular ticket price comes into effect.
So, if ATOM is on your 2027 calendar, getting in early is definitely worthwhile!
Your Gazebo, Your Spot
Forget arriving early to claim a good spot — ATOM is introducing a new gazebo booking system for 2027.
Guests will be able to book a gazebo for a small charge and will be allocated a designated spot in advance.
Simply turn up, find your allocated site and settle in for the day. No worrying about whether you’ll find a decent spot!
A Taste of What’s to Come
Food and beverage will once again be at the heart of ATOM, with the organisers working hard to bring together a fantastic array of food and beverage vendors.
For 2027, the team is also looking to expand the range of offerings, with distilleries, artisan food producers and craft stalls all being invited to take part.
The aim is to create a great mix of food, wine, craft beer, spirits and interesting local products — giving visitors plenty to taste, discover and enjoy throughout the day.
Any vendors interested in being part of ATOM 2027 are encouraged to get in touch.

And Then There’s the Music…
Of course, no ATOM would be complete without great live music — and the entertainment is already shaping up nicely.
Black and Gold and Split-Second are both locked in for 2027.
Black and Gold are familiar faces at ATOM and have previously had festival-goers up dancing and enjoying their energetic performances. Their return, alongside Split-Second, promises to provide the perfect soundtrack to a day of great food, drinks and good company.
More entertainment announcements will be made as the event gets closer.
More Than Just a Festival
While ATOM is all about having a great day out, there is an important reason behind the event.
A Taste of Matarangi is organised by volunteers with a strong commitment to supporting the local community.
Through previous events, ATOM has raised more than $150,000 for local community organisations and causes.
Sponsorship is an important part of making the event possible each year, and the ATOM team is looking for businesses and organisations that would like to get behind the festival and support its ongoing contribution to the community.
If you would like to sponsor ATOM 2027, please contact Gilly on 027 289 9807.
